Private Residence Glass Flooring
Atlanta, GA
A glass floor can transform an ordinary entrance into an unforgettable architectural statement. For this private residence in Atlanta, TCG Glass designed and manufactured a Crystal Clear GRIT structural glass floor that spans a tranquil koi pond, creating the illusion of walking across water. The striking installation became the centerpiece of the home and was later featured on both HGTV and the DIY Network.

The Story
The Indianapolis Zoo wanted to create an unforgettable visitor experience by allowing guests to watch penguins swimming directly beneath their feet. The challenge required a structural glass flooring system that delivered exceptional transparency while safely supporting thousands of visitors every day.
TCG Glass supplied Crystal Clear GRIT laminated glass flooring panels that provide outstanding clarity with the structural performance required for a public attraction. The result is an immersive exhibit where guests of all ages can observe rockhopper, gentoo, and king penguins gliding through the water below, creating one of the zoo’s most memorable interactive experiences.
